Vladimir Putin reels as Ukraine launches massive attack destroying key artillery depot
Drones hit military warehouses in the Voronezh region, as well as an army base near the city of Belgorod - causing massive fires to break out.
Ukrainian drones obliterated two ammunition depots in a Russian village causing a spectacular fire and massive damage.
Kyiv has stepped up its aerial bombardment of Russia in recent weeks, launching wave after wave of drone attacks.
Most of these have targeted oil refineries as Kyiv attempts to disrupt fuel supplies to Russia's army in Ukraine.
In the latest strikes, UAVS hit military warehouses in the Voronezh region, as well as an army base near the city of Belgorod.
Two ammunition depots containing more than three thousands shells were attacked by drones in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The drones stated a huge blaze that quickly spread to engulf an area of 3,500 square meters.
Video footage of the blaze shot from a distance shows thick columns of black smoke pouring from the buildings, with the sound of exploding munitions clearly audible.
The warehouses are located about 70 kilometres (43 miles) from the border with Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast.
The area around the military unit was cordoned off, and residents were advised not to leave their homes.

The regional governor, Alexander Gusev, declared a state of emergency in order to "eliminate the consequences of the detonation as soon as possible".
Satellite images obtained by Radio Liberty clearly show two huge fires burning, confirming the destruction of the depot.
In a separate attack, drones completely destroyed an army base in a former school building in the village of Moshenoye.
Located in the Belgorod region, the village is just 25 kilometres (16 miles) from Ukraine's border.
The detonation and subsequent fire killed one serviceman and injured another.
Moreover, 200 people had to be evacuated from nearby houses due to the ensuing blaze and the danger of exploding munitions.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the region's governor, said: "In the village of Moshenoye, the former school building was completely burned down as a result of the UAVs."
